England former fast bowler Stuart Broad has heaped praise on India and Mumbai Indians’ pacer Jasprit Bumrah’s performance against Gujarat Titans in the IPL 2024 match and said the Indian ace will beat the batter with his pace and trajectory while highlighting trademark abilities. Bumrah made a brilliant return to action for MI after missing the IPL 2023 as he came up with a magical performance, claiming 3-14 in their four overs as Mumbai Indians came up with a brilliant bowling performance to restrict Titans to 168/6.
However, GT pulled off a narrow six-run victory over MI to start their 2024 campaign on a winning note. Speaking exclusively to Star Sports on Cricket Live, Broad spoke on Bumrah’s performance against Gujarat Titans and said, that’s what he does, it’s just his trademark. He will beat you with the pace. He will beat you with his trajectory. It’s an interesting one with the new ball, I feel like he asked to come on and get the first wicket of the day and set the tone. But whatever he is going to use he is going to be successful because of so much skill and so much talent. And it’s just up to Hardik and team and management to figure out exactly where that will work. Meanwhile, Australia cricketer Steve Smith also praised the performance of Bumrah against Titans, highlighting his skills and impact on the game.
